While any authorized dealer handling your vehicle line will provide warranty service, we recommend you return to your selling authorized dealer who wants to ensure your continued satisfaction. Please note that certain warranty repairs require special training and/or equipment, so not all authorized dealers are authorized to perform all warranty repairs. This means that, depending on the warranty repair needed, you may have to take your vehicle to another authorized dealer. A reasonable time must be allowed to perform a repair after taking your vehicle to the authorized dealer. Repairs will be made using Ford or Motorcraft parts, or remanufactured or other parts that are authorized by Ford.

English to Chinese: Four-stage model of team developmentGeneral field: Bus/FinancialDetailed field: Management

Source text - EnglishIn 1965, Bruce Tuckman developed a simple four-stage model of team development that has become an accepted part of thinking about how teams develop. In his article, "Developmental Sequence in Small Groups," Tuckman outlines four stages of team development: Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing. A successful team knows which stage they are in, and manages transitions between the different stages adeptly.
The Forming stage involves the introduction of team members, either at the initiation of the team, or as members are introduced subsequently. Members are likely to be influenced by the expectations and desires they bring with them, and will be keen to understand how the group will operate. In particular, they will be keen to understand how the leadership is likely to operate, in terms of style and character. This is a stage of transition from a group of individuals to a team.

Source text - EnglishThe Irish regulatory environment for investment funds is founded on the principles of openness, transparency and investor protection. Ireland has an excellent reputation as a location for robust and effi cient regulation, which facilitates market and product developments while protecting investor interests. The Central Bank’s rules on counterparty risk and prospectus disclosure are considered prudent and the Irish regulatory framework provides for independent, regulated administration and trustee/custodian functions. Pre-authorisation is required for all Irish domiciled funds and their promoters with the requirement for independent resident directors providing further protection of investor interests. Furthermore, the Central Bank takes a pro-active, constructive approach to regulating the environment for investment funds and regularly engages with the industry to fi nd regulatory solutions that allow for new market and product developments. The Central Bank with signifi cant expertise and experience has clear processes and certain timeframes for fund and promoter approvals – timeframes which it continuously meets and often exceeds. Typically, an investment fund can be authorised in six to eight weeks. The Central Bank operates an ‘open door’ policy and is willing to meet with fund promoters and work through practical
solutions.
